Facial Fat Grafting
Facial fat grafting restores youthful volume using your own fat — a natural way to soften hollows in the cheeks, temples, and under-eyes. Dr. Hootan Zandifar uses this technique alone or alongside a facelift.
What Is Facial Fat Grafting?
Fat is gently harvested from one area of your body, purified, and precisely re-injected into areas of the face that have lost volume with age — cheeks, temples, under-eyes, and folds — for a natural, lasting refresh.
Why Use Your Own Fat?
Because it’s your own tissue, results look and feel natural, and a portion of the transferred fat becomes permanent. It also avoids the repeat visits of temporary fillers.
Often Combined With a Facelift
A facelift repositions tissue; fat grafting restores lost volume. Together they address both sagging and deflation for a complete rejuvenation.
The Value of Facial Fat Grafting
Natural, lasting volume from your own fat — results depend on refined harvesting and injection technique. Because it’s a lasting result, the quality of the outcome — not the lowest price — is what matters most.
